 Than you for all the comments.

The reason the pipes were left in, is had they been cropped there the composition of the photo changed to much when cut out, specially the rule of thirds at the end of the pier narrowing the aspect of the image, if I moved forward with the crop the 2 people became the problem, sad It cost so many points after starting in the 6's.

Great leading lines and excellent color saturation. I'd try cropping the bottom to eliminate the pipes that distract a bit the whole scene.

Moody! Although overprocessed, it does set the mood perfectly. I wish the orange tones on the banks were a little more subtle so as not to draw so much attention. Also, the two pipes sticking out at bottom-right are highly distractin.

Yeah, the editing isn't doing it for me. Love the leading lines, and the brooding sky, but this looks like a drawing, not a photograph.

It is a beautiful scene, great leading lines and some awesome clouds. Good job retrieving the details in the clouds. Although in doing that the foreground seems over saturated. I would have masked the foreground a little to soften it up and also cropped out the two pipe thingy on the bottom right.

Bummer about those two pipes at the bottom, but the colors and clouds are amazing
